Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Computing Certificate of Achievement

This first course in a three-course CCNA series introduces architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements – functions needed to support the operations and priorities of Fortune 500 companies to small innovative retailers. Students will have the chance to build simple local area networks (LANs). Developing a working knowledge of IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, students will be able to perform basic configurations for routers and switches. After completing all three CCNA courses, students are ready to take the CCNA Certification. 

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Academy Cloud Foundations course is intended for students who seek an overall understanding of cloud computing concepts, independent of specific technical roles. It provides a detailed overview of cloud concepts, AWS core services, security, architecture, pricing, and support.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Academy: Introduction to Cloud explores cloud computing. In this course, students explore cloud computing services, applications, and use cases. Students dive deeply into cloud computing best practices and learn how cloud computing helps users develop a global infrastructure to support use cases at scale while also developing and inventing innovative technologies. This course provides students with classroom instruction that introduces cloud computing skills and accelerates students toward the next steps in their educational journey. The seven core practices of computer science describe the behaviors and ways of thinking that computationally literate students use to fully engage in today’s data-rich and interconnected world.

This course is the second course in a three-course sequence preparing students to take the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification examination and prepares students to take the Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician certification exam. This course teaches comprehensive networking concepts and skills from network applications to the protocols and services provided to those applications by the lowe layers of the network.

This is an introductory course to the LINUX Operating System and basic Linux Operating System environment and commands. These course will cover file system navigation, Graphic User Interfaces (GUI) such as GNOME and KDE, file permissions, the Linux text editors, command shells, and basic network commands. This course is mapped to LINUX LPI Level 1 guidelines.

This course will cover the most common Python libraries as well as teach you programming best practices. We will explore different aspects of Python, including web, utility applications, machine learning, computer vision, IoT (Internet of Things), and data modeling applications. By the completion of the course, learners will complete a project using Python related to their major or area of interest.

This course uses PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) for programming introduction; as well as web server-side programming for web apps of dynamic websites and web services. It also introduces database-driven web infrastructure, using PHP to access database server and content management system for a full-fledged web app.  Topics include PHP fundamentals, function, array, string, object-oriented paradigm, data store (database management system) introduction, content management system (CMS) introduction, PHP with data store, PHP with CMS, LAMP/WAMP stack introduction.  Although not required, but some coding knowledge and experience in high-level programming language (such as C++) is strongly advised.

An introduction to Java. Topics include object-oriented design, multiple platform environment, program logic structures, graphical user interface, Java Applet, and recursion.
